Shi Hao was astonished; the flames he had released were extremely high in temperature, yet these vines simply stood motionless, allowing themselves to be scorched without any chance of igniting, which was completely incomprehensible.

He tried other elemental attacks, but all were to no avail.
Oh?
Manman looked at him somewhat astonished. Starting with the Light Element, Shi Hao had already used several elemental attacks, which made her suspect that Shi Hao was not one of those Spirit Roots with multiple attributes but could manipulate Elemental Power at will.
Interesting, she remarked silently to herself.
After several failed attempts, Shi Hao also gave up on this plan, gripping the knife in his right hand and striding forward.
Fortunately, not all vines were aggressive; in fact, most were not, and truly only a few had attack capabilities.
But none of them had a label saying “I am a bad vine,” so Shi Hao had to be extra careful and constantly on guard.
On the other hand, Manman, dressed in her Treasure Robe, could intimidate even the vines, none of which dared to launch an attack at her.
Seriously, vines don’t have eyes, so how do they discriminate?
Shi Hao couldn’t help but complain internally.
In the meantime, more vines launched attacks at Shi Hao, but all were chopped off by Ninefold Mountain; the Spiritual Artifact’s power was amazing, sharp and heavy, perfect against these vines.
Within the Five Elements, metal overcomes wood; this certainly also had an additional effect.
As they walked, suddenly someone burst out in front of them.
Shi Hao’s forehead had been continuously emitting the Light Element. He did control it intentionally; the intensity was just enough to illuminate, not bright enough to blind.
However, upon seeing someone appear, he immediately amplified the light beam to its extreme.
—By doing so, the other party definitely couldn’t see his face, after all, Shi Hao didn’t want to expose the secret that he had not been disabled.
“Ah!” the person screamed, immediately covering his eyes, but tears still involuntarily flowed out.
Damn, who is this? That’s too unscrupulous, using such bright light in such a dark environment, and deliberately aiming at the eyes—it’s obvious it was intentional.
That’s so dirty!
“Who’s over there, seeking death?” he shouted.
Although he covered his eyes with his hands during this process, Shi Hao had already got a clear look at his face.
Ceng Song!
Oh? This guy has recovered?
He was severely injured before, with many of his bones smashed, yet he had recuperated enough to walk freely in just a few days?
The Bone-Setting Medicine of the Ceng Family isn’t bad at all.
Of course, while the bones were set back in place, such severe injuries would surely impact his combat power greatly.
Shi Hao chuckled and whispered in a low voice, “Soul Reaping Ghost!”
“Hmph, stop playing god,” Ceng Song disdainfully replied.
Swish, he just thought of lowering his hands, but that strong light shot over again, making him grunt in pain, feeling unable to move his hands.
Swish, swish, swish, the strong light continuously flickered in front of him.
Ceng Song was about to explode in anger, are you a child, playing such tricks, don’t you find it boring?
He fumbled his way towards Shi Hao, because his eyes still couldn’t see and he also completely dared not lower his hands, stumbling and bumbling all the way.
He stopped a few feet in front of Shi Hao, now, just awaiting an opportunity to burst forth and rush towards Shi Hao for a lethal strike.
Time to pay back for setting me up!
Shi Hao smiled and withdrew the Light Element. Then, his whole body emitted a faint glow, which was enough to make him clearly visible in such a dark place.
Ceng Song did not immediately lower his hand. He instinctively thought that his opponent was too tricky and might still be planning to deceive him. Only after a while did he peek through the gaps between his fingers.
Just then, whoosh, the bright light came again.
“Ah!” he screamed in agony, feeling that his right eye was engulfed in a blinding white haze. He thought he was going blind.
“Damn it! Damn it!” he roared, unable to contain his rage any longer.
He already had a Raging Bloodline, which made it easy to lose control upon provocation, not to mention being “toyed with” like this.
He exerted force with his feet and immediately rushed out toward Shi Hao, intent on attacking.
Poof!
A sudden chill enveloped him, and he felt a pain in his chest. Then his strength instantly drained from his body, leaving him feeing hollow.
Shi Hao was also surprised. He once again made his body emit a soft glow. What he saw was Ceng Song having run right into the Ninefold Mountain in his hand, the knife blade already piercing through his body.
That… was too coincidental.
He was holding the knife actually to slash through vines, not expecting Ceng Song to run into it himself.
Truth be told, he even tried to avoid it a bit, but Ceng Song charged too fast, and he did not manage to dodge.
Alas, you died a wrongful death.
Ceng Song saw it clearly too. He displayed an incredulous expression, wondering if he had truly just died like that?
Only then did he look up at Shi Hao, shivering all over. He tried to speak, but blood sprayed out of his mouth instead.
“Don’t get agitated. Let me explain for you,” Shi Hao said, “Are you shocked why, although I was supposedly crippled, I am still standing before you?”
Ceng Song coughed up more blood continuously. Although Shi Hao was “kindly” explaining, it sounded like a tremendous irony to him.
“Because I was never crippled at all,” Shi Hao smiled, “It’s just that Lu Yun thought he had crippled me. However, the day I cripple Lu Yun, I will make sure to confirm it personally.”
Ceng Song tried to speak again but futilely spat out several mouthfuls of blood. The Ninefold Mountain had destroyed his vascular organs, and blood relentlessly gushed outward.
“Oh,” Shi Hao, as if awakening from a dream, withdrew the Ninefold Mountain, “Speaking of which, you really were wronged. I didn’t intend to kill you at all; you rushed at me yourself. You better remember this clearly. You can’t blame me for this.”
“Damn you!” Ceng Song finally spat out the last of his blood, cursed at Shi Hao, and then collapsed to the ground.
He died with his eyes wide open.
“Being your opponent, one must be even more shameless than you,” Su Manman leisurely remarked.
Shi Hao touched his chin: “Is that a compliment?”
“Absolutely,” Su Manman nodded, “Trust me!”
Shi Hao chuckled, kicked Ceng Song’s corpse to the side, which could serve as a fine heap of fertilizer, and continued forward.
Su Manman hastily followed him, finding Shi Hao increasingly interesting.
After spending more than a day, the two of them had thoroughly figured out the cave’s layout and then headed toward its deepest part.
Before long, they arrived at the place.
However… the narrow path they expected to see was completely obscured by intertwined roots and vines, thoroughly blocked.
Shi Hao swung his knife and slashed at it, ding, sparks flew.
He frowned, having managed to cut off a bit, but given the length of this passage, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
How long would it take to chop through?
“Heh heh, stuck, aren’t you?” Su Manman smirked arrogantly, “Miss has a plan!”
